It's nearly Christmas, but empty-nesters Nora and Luther Krank (Jamie Lee Curtis and Tim Allen) are planning to skip the festivities in favour of a cruise, to the dismay of their tinsel-happy neighbours. But when daughter Blair announces a last-minute visit, the Kranks have just a few hours to pull themselves together and organise their best Christmas celebration yet!
Dan Akroyd plays the Kranks' yuletide-obsessed neighbour in this Chris Columbus-scripted family comedy, based on a novel by John Grisham (yes, that John Grisham).

The New York Times"Phony, disingenuous family entertainment..."
Chicago Tribune"A colossal miscalculation."
Roger Ebert"A flat parable."
Los Angeles Times"Dreadful..."
Boston Globe"It's painful, not to mention flat-out witless, to see two actors this genial play fuddy-duddies who learn that Christmas is coming to their living room... or else."
